"Ta." Trixie sat down on a mat beside his and stretched her legs out in front of her. And even though she had planned on sitting here regardless of whether the boy wanted her to or not, she had no idea what she was supposed to do now. While she had no probelms in talking to girls, in fact she was quite outgoing, conversing with boys always seemed to be a problem.

It didn't occur to her that he was having the same problem. She always thought that boys were always loud and over confident. Maybe it was just the ones she knew. When she actually thought about it, all the guys she knew were Gryffindors so naturally they would be loud. The thought made her smile a little and she turned toward the boy and opened her mouth to speak.

But he had beaten her to it. For a moment she just sat there because she had been so busy thinking about what she was going to say that she had almost missed what he had said. And then she let out a small laugh. "Nice to meet you Jacob. My name is Trixie." She held out her hand to him because she had seen so many people do that. "For a moment there I thought we were going to sit in awkward silence for tbe whole class."
